Every minute of every day I miss you more. I take comfort in knowing we will be together forever again one day. Many ways time stands still. I am ready anytime to be with you and my family that awaits me. Love you forever John

John today you would be 81, I so miss you.
Every day I am pleased to have had you in my life and proud of our 3 children. Missing you and our son Monty never leaves my mind. Everyday I tell Heavenly Father thank you for sending you my love in my life and giving us 3 wonderful children. Missing and loving you more everyday. Until we are together again,
Love you

John it’s now been 7 years, I love and miss you more everyday. There are so many things I want to say and share with you, and I turn and you are not there. I feel so alone in a crowd of people.
If I could turn the clock back I would change so many things. I miss your laugh and smile, but most of all I miss your hugs. When our children hug me I sometimes imagine it’s you holding. I know someday we will be together again, I can’t wait for that day. I love you until we meet again.

John you have now been gone 6 years, I Love and miss you more everyday. I don’t like being on this journey alone. I do know it has made me a stronger person. I have so many regrets for the past that I can not change. One thing that keeps me going is I know we will be together again. Just know my love for you is forever.
Your loving wife Evie

Today marks one year after John's passing and I feel so lonesome without him. Didn't know how many tears I could cry everyday this last year. I am so grateful for all that John gave me his caring his love and his all. Jobn I love and miss you so very much. You always said you were never a teacher however everyone who ever met you you taught them something you were the best teacher I ever knew.
I would like to thank Chris Senz for the beautiful tribute did she put on this program for my husband John. You were always one of our favorite people that are son Monty was friends with.

The day after Monty's funeral, I stopped by the house. No one was there, they were all down at the park gathering together. John happened to come home right then to pick something up for the group at the park. He urged me to come join everyone, but I just wasn't up for it. John ended up spending half an hour or so visiting with me, telling Monty stories and laughing and crying together. I'll never forget him telling me about finding out Monty was gay and had AIDS... He said "I didn't understand it but I knew that I couldn't ask my son to change and the only way I'd get to walk this journey with him was to change myself and accept my son for whatever he does or becomes." Throughout my life, I think back on the unconditional love and acceptance in that statement, and I try to model it in every relationship I can -- I can't ask others to change, I have to do my own work if I want to walk the journey with them. I miss you, John, thank you for wisdom, compassion, and laughter!
